We will do our best to assess any possible risks for users (and in particular, for children) from third parties when they use any interactive service provided on our Site, and we will decide in each case whether it is appropriate to use moderation of the relevant service (including what kind of moderation to use) in the light of those risks.

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use, and disclosure of information that you may provide via this site. Please read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to this site.

This site is owned Rey T. Singh MSW, RSW, CACII, RCS located at 211-186 King St, London On, Canada N6A 1C7 and used under a company tradename London Middlesex Counselling and Addictions Services (LMCAAS) which is therefore the Data Controller of this site.

If we need to disclose your personal data to any other person or entity which are residing or located in a country that does not have equivalent laws and rules regarding personal data than the EEA, you will be asked to consent to such transfers and disclosures in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Canadian Users
If you reside in Canada, this notice is intended to comply with the requirements of the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and any substantially similar provincial legislation. The use of the term “personal data” in this privacy policy refers to "personal information" as it is defined in PIPEDA.

Information collected on this site may be stored in, processed in, or accessed from locations outside of Canada, and some or all of these locations may have personal information and privacy laws and standards that are different from those in effect in Canada.

Your Consent
By using this site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever you submit information via this site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

About Children
This site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect information from site visitors in this age group. We encourage parents to talk to their children about their use of the Internet and the information they disclose to web sites.

Information you provide
Some areas of this site may ask you to submit personally identifiable information (that is, personal data) in order for you to register on this site or for you to participate in a particular activity (such as Online addiction counselling sessions) and so on. You will be informed what information is required and what information is optional.

Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through this site, certain anonymous information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files, server logs, clickstream). Your Internet browser automatically transmits to this site some of this anonymous information, such as the URL of the Web site you just came from and the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the browser version your computer is currently using. This site may also collect anonymous information from your computer through cookies and Internet tags or web beacons. You may set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent or to refuse cookies altogether, but certain features of this site might not work without cookies. This site may use and combine such passively collected anonymous information to provide better service to site visitors, customise the site based on your preferences, compile and analyse statistics and trends, and otherwise administer and improve the site for your use. Such information is not combined with personally identifiable information collected elsewhere on the site unless you have consented.

A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends to your Web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences.

"Session" cookies are temporary bits of information that are used to improve navigation, block visitors from providing information where inappropriate (the site "remembers" previous entries of age or country of origin that were outside the specified parameters and blocks subsequent changes), and collect aggregate statistical information on the site. They are erased once you exit your Web browser or otherwise turn off your computer.

"Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes, such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (such as passwords), helping to determine what areas of the Web site visitors find most valuable, and customising the Web site based on your preferences on an ongoing basis. Persistent cookies placed by this site on your computer may hold personally identifiable information, but only if you have registered or have otherwise consented to the retention of personally identifiable information you have provided at the site. Otherwise, our site's server only knows that an unidentified visitor with your cookie has returned to the site. You can set your browser to accept all cookies, to reject all cookies, or to notify you whenever a cookie is offered so that you can decide each time whether to accept it. To learn more about cookies and how to specify your preferences, please search for "cookie" in the "Help" portion of your browser.

A site may use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is a number assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user's computer). The IP address can be used to diagnose problems with a server, report aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in connecting to a site, and administer and improve the site.

"Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site server information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's computer. Tags may be placed both on online advertisements that bring people to the site and on different pages of the site. Such tags indicate how many times a page is opened and which information is consulted.

"Navigational data" (log files, server logs, and clickstream data) are used for system management, to improve the content of the site, market research purposes, and to communicate information to visitors.

Processing and Purposes
Except as otherwise stated, we may use and process personal data collected via this website for the following purposes:
(i) to improve the content of our site,
(ii) to customise the site to your preferences, and/or
(iii) to communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for our marketing and research purposes, and for answering to your request if any.
In addition, we may make full use of all information acquired through this site that is not in personally identifiable form. If you provide personally identifiable information to this site, we may combine such information with other actively collected information unless we specify otherwise at the point of collection.

Disclosure
We may disclose personally identifiable information (i.e. personal data) you provide via this site to other LMCAAS contractors that agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and use it for the same purposes. We will not disclose personally identifiable information you provide via this site to third parties that are not LMCAAS contractors, but only:
(i) to contractors we use to support our business (such as direct services counsellors), in which case, we will require such third parties to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and use it for the same purposes and are abiding by their own professional regulations regarding client confidentiality;
(ii) to respond to law enforcement requests or where required by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations.
If we need to disclose your personal data to any other person or entity than the aforementioned, which are residing or located in a country that does not have equivalent laws and rules regarding personal data than the EEA, you will be asked to consent to such transfers and disclosures in accordance with this EEA Privacy Policy.

Access, Correction and Deletion
To keep personally identifiable information that you provide via this site accurate, current, and complete, please contact us as specified in the “How to Contact Us” link of this site and we will take appropriate steps to update or correct such information in our possession, or to delete your information from our contact list.

Security
This site takes reasonable steps to protect personal data as you transmit it to our site and to protect such information from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may not be secure.

Links to Other Web Sites
This site may contain links or references to other Web sites to which this Privacy Policy does not apply. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy of every Web site you visit.
